Christians and other faiths .. on Paganism?

Question

has the past few days helped you understand Paganism a little more ?
was there anything specifically that has changed your mind about previous beliefs ?
is this a good thing .. having a day assigned to one specific belief system ?
would you like to see more of other belief systems on different days ?

Answer 1

Yeah, I read one misconception that mentioned that people think that if you are a Pagan that you do not believe in Jesus. The person said that was wrong, as each individual will have their own beliefs. It's neat to see that some do honor/respect Jesus. It shows that they can be open-minded and less judgemental than those of other religions. It would be nice if more Christians would be tolerant of Paganism as a person'd choice, whether they agree with it or not. I thibnk you have a good idea in trying to feature a different religion each day to expose misconceptions and expand the understanding of those who are open-minded enough to partake.

Blessings in the Light of Christ!

Answer 2

There's an old rule that as long as a cultivation school encourages self-improvement, little desire, morals, virtue and ethics, then respect it.

Paganism, which existed before Christianity sent it into extinction, has both virtues and vices. The key is to see what it can teach you rather than just criticize it. The key is to also recognize the inherent principles within spiritual cuiltivation and see whether Paganism had them or not. For even if you're Christian and don't know these principles or practice according to them, then uit's doubtful you'll ever reach the same state as the past Christian saints and sages.

Answer 3

I hope it has helped people understand Paganism more.
Even though I myself am Hellenic Pagan, I think I learned quite a bit about other Pagan paths.

I actually think that having different days FOCUSING on different belief systems (but not excluding all systems) would be a good way to increase everyone's understanding and PERHAPS would be a way to encourage RESPECT for other beliefs......

Answer 4

Do I have anything against pagans as a Christian, honestly no. And never did.
I would like to see more people have an honest talk here all around instead of the put downs.

Answer 5

Pay no attention to the ignorant and the rude. Personally I'd very much like to see different days focussing on different belief systems. It would be very educational.

Blessed be.

Answer 6

Pangel, you did a good job today. (((Pangel)))

Yes, I'd LOVE to see other Faith systems sets of beliefs discussed as well. Through Knowledge we can overcome fear and distrust. Through that we can come to love and acceptance of each other as fellow humans on this lovely planet.

Answer 7

I think a lot of folks would, but instead of enjoying fellowship it would bring to the forefront those who sit and wait to attack

It's really too bad it is that way because it would be much more enjoyable to share with others who are likeminded
and free to express themselves with out interference

People who aren't asked should not go into questions to judge and attack

Answer 8

I hope it helped to create some understanding. None of us can be exactly the same. We all have a unique spiritual path. If we could honor that and respect that we would all be better off.

Answer 9

As a Catholic,I have never had anything against pagans.
